Hark the herald angels sing : Lyrics

Hark the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

Christ by highest heav'n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of a Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

Hark the Herald Angels Sing!
“Hark the herald angels sing” was written by Charles Wesley, brother of John Wesley founder of the Methodist church, in 1739.

Silly as it may seem, its never offically The Christmas Season for me until I hear Linus quoting Luke, and the Peanuts gang singing this hymn to Charlie Brown. Its only then that I can get motivated to do my Christmas cards.

[EyeGuy]

"Why don't do one to the tune of "Draidle, Draidle, Draidle"? (like "I'm getting laidle, laidle, laidled")"


We will NEVER see that and you and I both know why.

There is already a song by that title:

An it goes a little something like this ONE TWO THREE FOUR (HIT IT)!:

Cats on the rooftop, cats on the tiles,
Cats with the clap and cats with the piles,
Cats with their asses wreathed in smiles,
As they revel in the joys of fornication.

and so on, ad infinitum, in increasingly raunchy tone.

[Verginius Rufus]

"Jingle Bells, Batman Smells"? I never heard that one...I thought it went "Jingle Bells, Shotgun Shells."

The comic strip Pogo had a character who would sing "Deck the Halls with Boston Charlie."

I simply don't get the appeal of shows like this. Not only is the comedy not funny, but to get a rise out of people, the writers resort to crude, obnoxious gutter comments and sexual innuendos.

This is one of the reasons I don't watch much TV anymore - these shows just aren't funny.

The Sheen character lays the satire on thick. Yes, he's bigoted about a bunch of things.

Apparently, the author doesn't get that.

[skepsel]

"Lasciate ogni speranza voi ch'entrate" in Italian or "Omnes relinquite spes, o vos intrantes" in Latin.
Had the Italian over the doors at work for a long time.
Ain;t search engines great!

[skepsel]

Spellcheckers are nice too, (sigh). Ain;t = ain't!

[Always Independent]

Your right about the need to pick our battles. But it was only humor. I don't think it was really bashing christianity. And I don't think christians need to act like some other religions on them. JMT

I met her at the door
with a loaded 44.....

It's on this coming Sunday (12/17) on ABC, I believe.

[dfwgator]

...And she ain't our teacher no more.

[Kluster]

It was hilarious. I love that show.

I watched most of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" the other night. It was great. :)

'Joy to the World' is a song about the birth of Jesus Christ. Yet CBS has allowed a song about the most precious, sacred and significant moment in history to be turned into a song about having sex outside of marriage," Scott said. "Is there any line that anti-Christian people in the media will not cross?"

CBS loves to give the finger to the half of their viewer who are conservative and traditional. Let's face it, they've got so many viewers they don't need us -- hope they share that with advertisers.

[Bender2]

Yes... I agree...

And April Bowlby's Kandi... is not too shabby either!

[EarthBound]

"Jingle Bells, Batman Smells"? I never heard that one...I thought it went "Jingle Bells, Shotgun Shells."

It may be a newer variation, I heard it in the mid 80's in elementary school.

"Jingle bells, Batman smells.

Robin laid an egg.

The Batmobile lost a wheel

and the joker got away, hey!
